Dear Scott,

that was not meant a big criticism - to stick to your example. I
neither have a room nor a table, but I know I want to build a house
with a room and i will place a table in it, so where to start
planning, room or table?

To come back to microformats, what If I have an Idea (like for
measurements) and I did not find a real world example, what can I do:
1. Start a microformat, so that others can reintegrate it in their pages
2. Spread an idea to webmaster and then collect their work as example
to create a microformat

Do you get my intension?

So what do you think about the approach to solve this by creating a
measurement-design-pattern and to use this for creating the currency
microformat?

Kind Regards,
